Even this mobile is for my BIL who mentioned to me about Xperia L, presently he is a user of Samsung star 2 duos. I read few reviews about xperia L on gsmarea and found it is that good. I have always seen that Sony is very poor on battery back up(my subjective experience, no offense on any user)

In 15k₹ you will have some compromise here or there ,you cant expect everything to be best . My brother got a galaxy grand as a gift ,so far he is happy .

The battery is the Android smartphone’s biggest weakness. Gone are the days when you could charge your phone once and forget about your charger for a couple of days (Nokia 3310 anyone?). In Android phones, you can expect up to eight hours of battery life. Of course, with the level of functionality that they provide, this is expected, but carrying a charger around all the time can be quite exasperating.

One of the biggest strengths of the Android OS though is in its third party apps, and through these apps, you can even improve your battery life. So, here are a few apps that’ll help you do that.

Eight Apps To Extend Your Android's Battery Life

Wakelock Detector : This is more of an analytical app and is useful for people who really understand the Android system, like developers. This app detects Wakelocks on your system. This is an Android feature that lets apps keep the CPU awake and doesn’t let it go to sleep. The Detector finds which apps are using Wakelocks and lets you know.

Battery Doctor : This app is better suited for amateur users. It analyzes your system and tells you what apps you should turn off in order to optimise your battery life.

Tasker : This app is a scheduling application in a way. It lets you manage your phone and automate different programs and components to run and not run based on the time and location.

JuiceDefender : This is a power manager app that lets you extend the battery life of your device. The basic version of this app is available for free, but it also has paid version at $1.99 and $4.99.

Go Battery Saver : As the name suggests, this is also a battery saving app. It shows you which apps are taking the most power in your phone and gives you personalised control over your device. It has a free version and the paid full version comes at $4.99.

Battery Defender : This is one of the simplest battery saving applications for the Android system. One of the best parts about it is that it is available for free.

Battery Drain Analyzer : This app computes the percentage per hour usage of your battery. You can get this app for free or buy the pro version for $2.19.

ES Task Manager (Task Killer) : With over 10 million downloads, this app is one of the best known in the Android market. If you use this app alongside other battery managing apps, then the information you gathered from them can be used effectively using this.

WhatsApp, Kik and Line have made their mark on mobile app stores around the world by offering a more robust chat ecosystem than Apple or Google have managed to create on their own. Now that Google has fully transitioned from Google Chat to Hangouts on the desktop, the company has an opportunity to bring the improved software to its mobile platform in a much more meaningful way.

Android Police received alleged screenshots of Android 4.4 KitKat which show settings that will enable SMS and MMS with Hangouts. Although there is no hard evidence indicating that the Messaging app will be done away with altogether, combining the popular Hangouts chat service with existing mobile messaging services would be a smart way to compete with third-party apps. Check out the purported leaked screenshots below.

At the blog for developers , Google announced that in the app store Play big changes are coming applications optimized for tablets , will receive separate section .

Since the 21st of November all users tablets , coming in the app store , will see the default profile “Designed for tablets”.

Sub-optimal will be marked with a special sign “Designed for phones”, indicating an application for smartphones. Google also insist that applications developed for tablets , meet a number of requirements for the design, which is a guide for developers.
